John David Booty (born January 3, 1985) is a former American football quarterback. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at USC.

Booty has also been a member of the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans. He is the brother of former Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns, and Oakland Raiders quarterback (and Florida Marlins third baseman) Josh Booty.

Booty prepped at the Evangel Christian Academy in Shreveport, Louisiana but left a year early after his father (who was the team's quarterback coach) left the staff, having already earned enough credits to graduate. Despite leaving after his junior year, Booty's final passing stats were 8,474 yards on 555 of 864 attempts (64.2%) with 88 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. Booty succeeded his brother, former Louisiana State University quarterback Josh Booty, and former Miami quarterback Brock Berlin. In 2001 and 2002 he led Evangel Christian Academy to state-championship game victories held at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.

Booty is believed to be the first player ever to leave high school a whole year early to play college football. He headlined a class that was considered the best that season, and included other NFL-bound recruits such as Reggie Bush, LenDale White, Steve Smith, and Sam Baker.
